Fourteen new essays by this prolific Methodist theologian. In A Better Hope Hauerwas concentrates on the constructive case for the truth and power of the church and its faith, “since Christians cannot afford to let ourselves be defined by what we are against. Whatever or whomever we are against, we are so only because God has given us so much to be for”. As William Placher say: “Stanley Hauerwas is always provocative, regularly funny, and right more often than his critics will ever admit. His pacifism implies no objection to vigorous intellectual combat”.
